Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a powdered composition suitable for cleaning carpets and a process of cleaning carpets using a powdered composition.
  • carpets are made from natural or synthetic fibers they are all prone to soiling / staining when contacted with household items.
  • Foods, grease, oils, beverages in particular such as coffee, tea and soft drinks especially those containing acidic dyes can cause unsightly, often dark stains on carpets.
  • fibres may become soiled as a result of dirt particles, clay, dust, i.e. particulate soils, coming into contact with and adhering to the fibers of the carpet .
  • These latter soils often appear in the form of a diffuse layer of soils rather than in the form of spots and tend to accumulate particularly in the so called "high traffic areas" such as near doors as a result of intensive use of the carpets in such areas .
  • a vacuum cleaner alone does not remove this type of soil as mere physical action is insufficient to remove it from the carpet .
  • Compositions for the cleaning of carpets are already- known in the art.
  • liquid carpet cleaning compositions based on surfactants other adjunct materials is disclosed in US-A-2005/250662.
  • compositions are not without their disadvantages. Firstly, whether the compositions are applied manually or with the use of an application machine, the compositions due to their liquid nature require a long time to dry typically of the order of 16 hours) from the carpet after the cleaning operation is complete.
  • the residual carpet cleaning liquor is associated with issues such as carpet distortion (shrinkage / expansion) , carpet discoloration, odor emanation and can even attract new dirt deposits.
  • An object of the present invention is to obviate / mitigate the problems outlined above.
  • a water free powdered composition suitable for use in a carpet cleaning operation comprising at least 30wt% precipitated / fumed silica component .
  • composition of the present invention is that the composition is applicable to all carpet types, especially delicate natural fibers, and are also safe to all carpet dye types particularly sensitive natural dyes used therein.
  • the composition of the present invention is also suitable to be used to clean upholstery, car seats covering and general fabrics.
  • compositions of the present invention may be applied directly on the carpet without causing damage to the carpet.
  • water-free is intended to mean that the composition contains less than 5wt% water, more preferably less than 3wt% water and most preferably less than lwt% water.
  • the silica is present in the composition in an amount of greater than 40wt%, more preferably greater than 45wt% and most preferably greater than 50wt%.

  • a preferred adjunct material incorporated into the carpet cleaning composition is a metal salt, e.g. an alkali / alkaline metal salt, such as Na, K, Ca or Mg.
  • the metal salt such is a bicarbonate, sulphate, carbon- ate, sesquicarbonate sodium citrate or a mixture thereof.
  • the present invention encompasses a process of cleaning a " carpet comprising the use of a powdered composition comprising a precipitated / fumed silica component.
  • said process of cleaning a carpet further comprises the steps of:
  • the composition may be applied to the carpet in any convenient manner.
  • the composition may be applied (e.g. manually) via a dispenser such as a rigid / flexible container having a suitable dispensing aperture.
  • a dispenser such as a rigid / flexible container having a suitable dispensing aperture.
  • Such a dispenser may be operated by shaking over the area of carpet to be cleaned.
  • the composition may be applied via a mechanical device.
